A Kreg jig is a tool that can be used to construct a deck. Here are some basic tips to make your first pocket hole. First, align your pencil marks for the pocket hole with the lines of the Kreg Jig (called the "A" or "C" lines). Next, align your pocket hole pencil marks with the lines on the Kreg Jig. Once everything is lined up, clamp down the Kreg Jig to secure the wood. Adjust the lock nut to tighten the clamp.
A kreg Jig is used
Kreg Jigs are useful for many woodworking projects. For example, you can make frame-and-panel doors. The jig is also useful for fastening door trim miter joints.

Make sure that the pocket hole Kreg Jig is 3/4" thick. A 1x4 may seem like a one-by-four but it's actually a 3/4 inch thick board. The jig comes with a chart that will show you the settings for your screws, and the depth of wood.
Making pocket holes
A Kreg Jig can be used to make pocket holes, whether you are making furniture or remodeling your home. While pocket hole drills typically use a conventional bit, the Kreg Pocket Hole Jig includes a drill-guide that allows you accurately measure the depth of the hole as well as the width of your opening. Simply by holding the gauge against a piece wood, the depth collar on the jig can be adjusted to accurately adjust the hole's depth. Finally, the jig's clamp keeps the pocket hole-jig in place during drilling.

The depth collar is set on the drillbit
Before drilling a hole using a Kreg Jig you need to set the depth ring on the drill bit. A depth collar is small hardware piece that fits into a drill bit slot. It can be adjusted to drill the exact hole depth. It also comes with an Allen wrench. The depth collar can be adjusted by aligning the drill bit's bottom edge with the Kreg Jig mark at 3/4 inches.
A Kreg Jig comes with a special stepped drill bit and a depth collar to set the depth of the hole. The depth collar on the drill bits must match a guide marking on the jig. Once set, the drill bit automatically stops at the correct depth. A depth collar should be set to correspond to the depth and thickness of the wood.

How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
We use several methods to measure wood. We use a variety of methods to measure wood.
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. The laser emits a red dot along the line. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device's center bubble is visible. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
